Alpharetta, GA (August 20, 2021) — CEDIA Expo 2021, the platform where residential technology integration, designers and construction professionals connect, learn, and engage, introduces “CEDIA Expo Connect”, the new digital companion to the in-person show, driven by state-of-the-art AI. “Connect” is a powerful platform designed to facilitate smart business matchmaking, product discovery and relevant content. It connects attendees to exhibiting brands and products pre-show, onsite and post-show.
“This new AI-driven matchmaking platform is a first for our industry, and it’s so powerful we decided to make it available to all registrants before CEDIA Expo opens,” shares Jason McGraw, Group VP of CEDIA Expo/KBIS. “Offering the latest technology to bring attendees together with exhibitors is a very exciting opportunity for all. This platform is set to revolutionize the way exhibitors and attendees interface.”
“CEDIA Expo Connect” provides smart matches, recommended for attendees based on self-described product interest. The platform additionally allows for chats and request meeting times/appointments onsite. Exhibiting brands and products are easily searched by keywords or by selecting a category from dropdown lists.
This new show service platform will also host CEDIA’s on-demand education sessions through attendees’ personalized agendas linked to the show’s registration system. A truly innovative experience for CEDIA Expo attendees.
